When Yue Fei was 15 or 16 years old, Jin people from the north invaded the south, and those in power in the Song Dynasty were corrupt and incompetent, and the country was at a critical juncture. Yue Fei joined the army to fight against Liao. Soon after, due to the loss of his father, he retired and returned to his hometown to observe filial piety.
1 126 years, nomads from the central plains invaded on a large scale, and Yue Fei joined the army again. Before leaving, Mrs Yao called Yue Fei to her side and said, "What are your plans now?"
"Go to the front line to kill the enemy and be loyal to the country!"
Mrs Yao is satisfied with her son's answer. "Serving the country faithfully" is a mother's hope for her son. She decided to tattoo these four words on her son's back and let him remember them forever.
Yue Fei unbuttoned her coat, revealing her thin back and letting her mother take the needle.
Mrs. Yao asked, "Son, acupuncture is very painful. Are you afraid? "
Yue Fei said, "Mom, a small steel needle is nothing. If you are afraid of needles, how can you go to the front to fight! "
Mrs Yao wrote on Yue Fei's back first, and then embroidered it with embroidery. But there is nothing in the word "country", which symbolizes that China has no leader. After the stabbing, my mother-in-law drew it in vinegar ink.
Since then, the word "loyalty to the country" on Yue Fei's back has never faded.
Mother's encouragement inspired Yue Fei. After Yue Fei joined the army, he was quickly promoted to Bing Yilang for his bravery in combat.
At this point, Kaifeng in the capital of song dynasty was besieged by 8 Jin Army, and Yue Fei and Zong Ze, deputy marshal, went to the rescue and defeated 8 Jin Army many times. He was appreciated by Zong Ze and praised him for his "wisdom and talent, which ancient generals could not surpass". Later, he became a famous hero against gold and was admired by people of all ages.
2. Zheng successfully recovered Taiwan Province Province.
Zheng Chenggong was a famous anti-Qing general in17th century. Because Emperor Qianlong gave the Ming Dynasty the surname Zhu and succeeded in giving it a name, it was called "the surname of the country" internationally, and it was also called "the surname" because the emperor made him king. 1624 (four years tomorrow), Dutch colonists occupied Taiwan Province province of China. Zheng Chenggong was determined to drive away the invading army.
166 1 year (18th year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty and 15th year of Li Yong in Nanming Dynasty) In March, Zheng Chenggong led 25,000 soldiers and set off from Kinmen in hundreds of warships. They braved the wind and waves, crossed the Taiwan Province Strait, rested in Penghu for several days, and prepared to take Taiwan Province Province directly.
When the Dutch invaders heard that Zheng Chenggong was going to attack Taiwan Province Province, they were very scared. They concentrated their troops in two castles, Taiwan Province Province (now Dongping, Taiwan Province Province) and Chiqian (now Tainan), and sank ships in the port to prevent Zheng Chenggong's fleet from landing.
Zheng Jun took advantage of the high tide to sail the fleet into Lu 'ermen Inland Sea, landed at Heliao Port, attacked Chiqian City from the side, and cut off contact with Fucheng in Taiwan Province Province.
In the battle, the invading military warship Hector attacked. Under the command of Zheng Chenggong, the enemy was tightly surrounded, and more than 60 warships opened fire together, sinking the hector. At the same time, and defeated the reinforcements of Taiwan Province provincial capital.
The Red Lotus Army surrendered to Zheng Jun when the water supply was cut off and foreign aid was hopeless. The invading army entrenched in Taiwan Province Province tried to fight to the death. Zheng Chenggong built earthen platforms around the city, besieged the enemy for eight months, and ordered a storm on the cities of Taiwan Province Province.
At this point, Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan Province Province, the territory of China occupied for 38 years, from the Dutch invaders. This war ended the operation of the Dutch East India Company in Taiwan Province Province, China, and opened the Ming and Zheng regimes' rule over Taiwan Province Province.

The destruction of opium in Humen (1June, 839) refers to a historical event in which the Qing government of China appointed an imperial envoy Lin Zexu to destroy opium in Humen, Guangdong.
This incident later became the fuse of the First Opium War, in which the treaty of nanking was also signed. Smoking ban in Humen indirectly led to the harm of unequal treaties to the people of China.

Zhan Tianyou builds railways for the country.
Zhan Tianyou was talented and went abroad for further study at the expense of the Qing government when he was a teenager. At that time, he was one of the earliest people sent by the Qing government to study abroad. Abroad, he was exposed to the most advanced science and technology at that time and deeply felt the backwardness of his motherland.
After graduating from high school, he applied to Lu Haijun School in the United States, but was rejected. Because China at that time was really backward and looked down upon by outsiders.
After that, I entered Yale University and achieved excellent results through hard work and hard study. His graduation thesis "Research on Wharf Crane" was well received by professors.
At the age of twenty-one, he got a bachelor's degree. At that time, only two of the more than 20 international students in China/kloc-0 got their degrees, and Zhan Tianyou was one of them.
After returning to China, Zhan Tianyou, as the first railway engineer in China, participated in the construction of the railway from Lutai to Tianjin. He accumulated rich experience and skills in practice and soon became an excellent engineer. Soon, Zhan Tianyou became the chief engineer of Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway. As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation throughout the country.
At that time, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway was 200 kilometers long, crossing the Yanshan Mountains, with steep terrain and overlapping mountains, and also crossing the "natural barrier" Juyongguan and Badaling.
In the eyes of the imperialist countries at that time, this was impossible. They think it will take at least 50 years for China to complete this project.
Since Zhan Tianyou, no matter whether it rains or blows, he has visited the site every day, carrying a flower pole, theodolite and level, carefully measuring, calculating and designing. After many measurements and comparisons, the most economical and reasonable route was finally chosen.
The construction period is less than four years, and the entire Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway independently designed by China was completed, two years ahead of schedule. This project made the people at that time extremely proud and deeply hit the face of the imperialist countries.
